President Uhuru Kenyatta has today directed the Teachers Service Commission to allocate two teachers per county to coordinate scouting activities.
This directive came as the President was presiding over Kenya Scouts Association Patron’s Awards, Honours and Recognitions Day at State House, Nairobi.
Some of the leaders who attended the ceremony include Kalonzo Musyoka who is the new found political buddy to the President.
Kenya Scouts Association (KSA) is a registered member of the World Organization of Scouting Movement and is the largest Youth Movement in Kenya, with over 1,000,000 boy and girl Scouts and a support team of over 40,000 Scout Leaders.
Scouting in Kenya was established in 1910. Scouting is an international voluntary, educational, non political Movement for young people open to all – boys and girls without distinction of origin, race, gender, and creed or ethnic/tribal.
Its objective is the development of young people into responsible, active citizens, who will positively contribute towards societal progress.
Although scouting activities might not seem all that exciting it comes along with great benefits and provides the youth to explore their abilities and learn on the basic survival tactics, leadership as well as being ready to serve others in all times.
The President’s directive aims at giving this opportunity and scouting platform to as many young people as possible for the purpose of growing the country and capacity building.
